TLDR
Pericarditis and myocarditis are increasingly being recognised as sequelae of Campylobacter infection, and these presentations are important, as misdiagnosis may result in inappropriate thrombolysis or angioplasty, with potential accompanying complications.About:

Global Epidemiology of Campylobacter Infection
TL;DR: Overall, campylobacteriosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases that is likely to challenge global health in the years to come.

Pediatric myocarditis: emergency department clinical findings and diagnostic evaluation
Stephen B. Freedman,J. Kimberly Haladyn,Alejandro A. Floh,Joel A. Kirsh,Glenn Taylor,Jennifer Thull-Freedman +5 more
TL;DR: The frequency of various presenting symptoms and the sensitivity of clinical and laboratory investigations routinely available in the emergency department and among laboratory tests studied, aspartate aminotransferase measurement was the most sensitive (sensitivity: 85%).

Analysis of risk factors for Campylobacter species infection in broiler flocks
TL;DR: German broiler flock samples from May 2004 to April 2005 found no evidence of an effect of slaughter age, time interval between successive flocks, hygiene measures, number of broiler houses on a farm, partial slaughter, source of water supply, and number of farm employees on the Campylobacter infection rate.

218 – Campylobacter jejuni and Related Species
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic relatedness within the genus Campylobacter inferred from rpoB sequences.
TL;DR: The universally applicable amplification and sequencing approach for partial rpoB gene sequence determination provides a powerful tool for DNA sequence-based discrimination of Campylobacter species.

Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular and Bacteremic Manifestations of Campylobacter fetus Infection: Case Report and Review
TL;DR: The organism is ubiquitous, but most commonly causes infection in patients with chronic underlying illnesses, and the treatment of choice for most infections is gentamicin, with chloramphenicol recommended for infection involving the central nervous system.
Journal Article
Ciprofloxacin resistance in Campylobacter jejuni: Case-case analysis as a tool for elucidating risks at home and abroad
TL;DR: The risk of acquiring a ciprofloxacin-resistant campylobacter infection was strongly associated with foreign travel, and different intervention strategies will be required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carditis and arthritis associated with Campylobacter jejuni infection.
TL;DR: Three patients who developed carditis after enteritis caused by Campylobacter jejuni are reported, two had perimyocarditis and one endocarditis, and the cardiac sequelae persisted in two patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocarditis related to Campylobacter jejuni infection: a case report.
TL;DR: Myocarditis can be a rare but severe complication of infectious disease and should be considered as a diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain and elevated cardiac enzymes in the absence of underlying coronary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pericarditis Due to Vibrio Fetus
TL;DR: The patient's progressive downhill course prior to antibiotic therapy and the persisting neurologic damage emphasize the need for early diagnosis and proper management in this very serious infection.
